Sec. 17-10 governs commercial vehicles in the unincorporated county. It bans truck tractors, semi-trailers and trailers on public streets, roads and rights-of-way in the residential zoning districts, and also bars parking or storing them on a lot in any residential zoning district unless the entire vehicle is kept in an enclosed garage or carport. Parcels of three acres or greater in the Rural (RU) district are excepted. A 'trailer' is defined by weight (up to 10,000 lbs GVW/GVWR). Municipal codes apply inside city limits.
Misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment; each day of continued violation after due notice is a separate offense.
